[Bug?][Most of the ROMs] Phone.apk - "Memo" >>force close - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I've searched for a very long time and asking around ROM threads but seems like nobody notice this bug, maybe because nobody ever use this feature (Memo) hence this FC is not noticeable.
The bug can be reproduced from:
-- using original dialer, call a person, end the call and immediately press Menu -> Memo (gets FC)
OR
-- using original dialer, call a person, calls connected, during the call press Menu -> Memo (gets FC and call drops)
This only happens in Phone.apk that has disabled increasing ring. I've tested with STOCK rom (jpu, jpx, jpy...etc) and it doesn't have this problem
somebody pls help to solve it else this bug will go unnoticed forerver
BIG THANKS!!!

Hmm, I've had this bug in several different ROMs but I don't use memo. I just press the Back button a couple of times after ended call, and Phone force closes. Tried different modems but no success...

I have the Armani ROM Phone.apk, on a JPY ROM, works fine. It includes the disabled ring.
(The reason for the Armani ROM, is to remove video chat from end call.)
Sent from my Captivate.

thanks muffmaster for ur confirmation
mikey i will try to extract Phone.apk from Armani rom and test out if it works with my rom thanks.

where can i download Armani ROM for i9000??

Can some one post armani phone.apk here?i have fc regularly with stk.i would like to test phone.apk from armani

ok i tried extracted Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk from Serendipity ROM (under mikey's signature) but end up still getting FC for Memo.
I suspect (from google search) there is missing resource...I wonder what have been missing in custom ROMs.
Attached is the adb logcat for the FC during a call and click Menu->Memo can experts here help to take a look at it?
Many thanks as always!!

This is the problem, custom roms like to streamline out default apps like "Memo", but don't realise that there is a dependancy on this if you want to use the memo note function during a call.

This bug is so annoying!
I think it's wierd that I've got the bug with even the most popular ROM's like Docs and Darkys... Right now on Insanity ROM.
I've tried with both the original one, and the version with Increased Ring signal disabled. No difference!

Scaled Back Stock ROM

This is a build I put together yesterday... It's basically stock ROM with the bloatware removed along with most sense elements... I'm working on a more pure vanilla, but builds thus far are really unstable. This build has been stable on my phone- with the exception of Rosie Utility FC at startup that I can't figure out since Rosie is gone. Wifi tether is enabled, google apps are included, su and busybox are installed and working, and I'm using launcher2 for now. Try it out and see what you think- nothing special, but it's something to play with until the pros release something great...
link removed- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713316 for newest work...
I am getting major force closes on every thing when it boots up. Am I doing anything wrong. The only ROM I can get to work is the cyan test rom.
Acore is one of the force close but there are many when it boots.
did you wipe before install? I haven't had these problems... so it's hard to tell you what's going on- sorry it's not working for you though...
I did do a wipe but not sure if I am doing it right. It does seem like it is installing both roms. What is the best way to wipe?
In clockwork recovery select wipe data/factory reset... then wipe cache partition.
Yeah I finally got to wipe. Thanks for the help
Any chance you will get a version of this with the stock android dialer and phone.apk (i.e. like the Nexus One)?
That's where I'm headed eventually... I'm trying to figure out how to get nexus over to the inc, but the gsm/cdma thing is busting my ass... So far I have it loading with working hardware, but it won't join the damn network...

just to help out, from experimenting with rom building myself i came across this:
Search the XDA-developers forum for "Safely remove Rosie.apk on FreshToast 1.1?" (I cannot post a link because its a new account sorry)
its meant for the HTC Hero BUT it explains that you want to get rid of HtcAddProgramWidget.apk to make that FC go away.
the question is will that break anything, try it and find out
I flashed your rom and saw the FC then "rm HtcAddProgramWidget.*" and the FC went away in the setup process. idk if it breaks anything else when you actually use the phone though. good luck!

I'd like to see a stock dialer work with verizon to troubleshoot an issue.
A weird issue which not many people have seemed to mention is the fact that you can't make multiple calls with Verizon. Perhaps its a verizon limitation? I am new to verizon so I am not sure.. When I mean make multiple calls, all you can do with the stock incredible is place a call, add a call and then conference it. You cannot put your first call on hold, make a second call and then go back to the first call. The phone app will only allow you to conference it. Also when you hit end calls its ends both calls..
The EVO does not have this problem, but it being on sprint perhaps they support it.. As both are CDMA networks I believe it should work with the incredible?
I would love a senseless rom with the stock android dialer. I would be ok with sense but the sense dialer is a pos. i just hate it.
If you have something like Dialer One installed, it's actually ok to delete HtcDialer.apk and HtcDialer.odex from /system/app. You can say goodbye to the Sense dialer. Even if you still use the Sense launcher, when you press Phone it will bring up Dialer One and will not fc on you.
I finally put together a stock nexus rom for the Inc, but I'm having the same issues as the cyanogenmod... says TCDMA64 at the top and the damn camera won't work... does anybody know how to properly deodex the stock apps from the Inc.? Try as I might I can't get it to work...
On a brighter note- it's fast, and light... just won't take pictures...

[request] email.apk modification

Ok all-
Here is and email apk that was quasi working on my phone when i was running cog beta8. now with beta9 it doesnt work.
I dont know much about odex/deodex or, well anything. I have attached the email.apk
This is the LATEST from the Cyan series. SWEET benefits with this:
- allows you to sync all mail 9instead of just one month)
- signitures work in both new mail and replys
- replys work
and there are many others. The onyl thing that wasnt working the best when i ran it was when trying to select multiple messages, it would FC, along with sometime randomly deleting the account (forcing you reenter all the info).
it also had black notifications, making it hard for our black notification bar.
NOW, heres the request. I dont know much about altering apks or anything to make this work. I am willing to pitch in and pay for someone to get this email.apk running and stable. I m sure that others will too as this is one of the few issues that have been lingering about the 2.2 beta since day one. I have attached the following:
- email.apk
- icons from the samsung email.apk so they show up better on our black
notification bar
Can someone PLEASE look into this.
Whoever can get this working with get some cash from me for beer money!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

How to remove "Video Call" options from XXJPY Dialer/Contacts?

I've recently flashed through Doc's Kitchen, and want to know how to remove all the "Video Call" options and prompts.
Research has dictated that I need to replace random components related to the Phone.apk, Contacts.apk, and some dialer activity apk. What would work with JPY natively that doesn't have the increasing ring?
EDIT: Did a bit of guess and check, I managed to fix the dialer by lifting Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk. Contacts now makes acore FC.

Check for a JPY ROM that does not have video call option in it, and pick the "DialerActivityTab.apk" from there and copy it to urs.
Location: /system/app
Note: Make sure to backup urs first in case u mess up.
Well.....
No ones actually done it yet for phone.apk and dialeractivitytab.apk afaik. I think that MikeyMike and ChanceM are currently working on something for Serendipity.

No offense, but that doesn't really answer the question. Nothing is really learned by just using an apk that has it done.
But Serendipity has most of those references taken out already. The next update should have them all taken care of.
So what's the bottom line and the point of the 'video call' button anyway? I saw that program, 'Fring'... So can we link that button to the program?

Q: apps there use camera FC after speedmod update.

Hi there. I just updatede my speedmod kernel from k12t to k12u. And after that apps like barcode scanner and goolge goggles doesnt work. But my camera første... any solutions?
Sent from the Galaxy
Same here, but I experienced this with former kernel too.
Switching back to other kernel didn't fix it.
So I don't think that this belong to the kernel itself.
I switched a lot forward and backward, like cam FW or cam- and barcodescanner-apps, SGS Tools with cam hack and so on but still no clue.
I'm now on Doc's ROM without any failure before JS3.
So, now the cam is working for taking pictures but as soon as I switch to video it FCs. Same with all scanner apps.
EDIT: switched several times between 12t und 12u and between that to hacked cam app (SGS Tools) ... and just right now its working again. so, absolutely no clue but waiting for next impact.
EDIT2: seems that others before had similar impact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11036914&postcount=12152
EDIT3:
AAARRRRGHHH ... fixed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=camera&page=806
Read from post#8059. It's the email.apk...
I formely switch to the new email.apk from Galaxy Tab and I can enforce same issue again and again when using the new email.apk.
it doesn't occur with old 2.2.1 email.apk.
Someone need to teach Google and Samsung the idea of "Modular".

Pst... let me tell you a secret... I did this 9 times.
To be honest: there was a slight feeling that it could be the email.apk because I switched that many times too - but I tought that it is too idiotic to talk about.
So, your request helped me too because before I wasn't searching seriously.

Can't buy apps from the market though- it just returns the generic error. Is there a fix for that?

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen

Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.
